Introduction

I have been shooting professionally for over 23 years... (wow, i don't feel that old). My style has progressed and changed constantly and I am always looking for the next 'new' thing. It's especially exciting when my models bring unique ideas and outfits to our photo shoot. There are no boundaries... whatever the limitations may be in real life, we can extend in the realm of digital design. A photo shoot is a great place to try new looks and explore concepts that you have seen or imagined.

A creative shoot is interactive. You will get out exactly what you put in. Photo shoots are work, but they are also fun. Most of the models in my portfolio are 'amateur' and even first timers. You can expect to have the same quality of images. I know all of these girls look like super models, but believe me they came in looking like 'the girl next door'.

Our makeup artist is exceptional and ultimately your first impression of BWP. She will work with you to creating anything from a natural daytime to a glamorous evening look. This is a great time to explore a new look by a seasoned professional. The photo shoot does not start until you are 100% happy with your look.

Multiple looks - I will help choose outfits and create sets suited to them.

Direction - lots and lots of direction... Of course some of you won`t need it.

A photo shoot lasting up to 7 hours... The shoot does not end till we get 'our shot'.

Why me ? There is cheaper out there !

Today the market is saturated with 'photographers'. Since the drop in price with digital cameras, many amateurs have stepped in and started shooting. How do you differentiate 'man with camera' vs 'Professional photographer'? Thats a tough question for someone un-acquainted with photography.

I like to think my work speaks for itself, but here are a few other details:

Just about anyone can turn out a great pic with a decent model and quality retoucher, the difference at BWP is that you will love your images 'BEFORE' they are retouched. I do not rely on fixing work after the fact, I like to create quality work from the start.

BWP has been in business and incorporated for over 20 years... that speaks for itself.

Your confidentiality is safe. Photographers out there these days do not seem to respect this simple but important detail.

All work is archived on THREE raid array backups as well as DVD... If you ever lose your images we will be able to provide a backup.

Photography equipment is all kept current and top of the line. I like to think quality in = quality out.

All master retouching is done in-house by me. This also keeps the confidentiality of your images intact - no emailing images to India for cheap retouching (this is avery common practice, ask your photographer)

Studio 31 is one of Vancouver's most stylized 'boutique' studios and solely owned. Rain or shine we are able to shoot in a fabulous comfortable secure location.

I guarantee my work! BWP has not advertised for over 20 years, that is because all business comes in from work of mouth. It is very important to me that you had a great experience and love your images. I will do my utmost to make this happen.

I met Marianne years ago when she bartended at one of my open houses. Miss nude Canada - Justice was doing a pole...

You and Colleen did a great job of making me feel at ease despite my inexperience and initial nervousness. I ended up having fun and enjoying where your artistic vision took us! I never thought I could look that good in pictures....

We sent the image off to YRB and almost everyone in their office has gotten back to us in one form or another saying how much they loved it. The editor loved it so much that he said he'd bump it up inside the front 16! Once again, great job.

It was lovely meeting you last Saturday.LOVE your studio space (and your bikes and pup) and you were a fabulous host, so thank you -- we all had fun!

Your studo was perfect in every way. [The] suspended lighting rig made it so easy to tweak the lights and keep everything nice & clean. Your professionalism of how you run and manage the studio made my clients happy. I will definitley be back
